Possible to make a machine independent NixOS configuration/flake?
Never fully got it to work, so I just encrypt my secrets when I build my isos: https://github.com/dmadisetti/.dots/actions/runs/5055636638/jobs/9072093945

Hardware configuration in nix flake dotfiles?
I have multiple files for each machine based on hostname. I have CI strip my config of all system specific information for general distribution. For reference: https://github.com/dmadisetti/.dots

how to store secrets needed at install time
What I do: Keep secrets in a separate git repo as a flake, and have a stub flake, that can be overridden: https://github.com/dmadisetti/.dots/tree/template/nix/spoof

(maybe) ex arch user need some help to understand
I have a script that will symlink my dotfiles in (github:dmadisetti/.dots/setup.sh), because you also end up with weird RO permissions if you do it through Nix. I think this is fine. It also means that you aren't stuck with Nix

Have a shell command in configuration.nix that runs on nixos-rebuild
The way I manage multiple systems is with a wrapper: https://github.com/dmadisetti/.dots/blob/template/dot/config/fish/functions/snix.fish

Arch user, convince me to hop to Nix
The only thing that is semi manual is setting up disks on first install (something you'd still have to do with arch). You can still script that: https://github.com/dmadisetti/.dots/blob/template/scripts/run-install.nix.sh

Couple of noob questions
So first, I'm a bit confused about AUR. I'm not aware of what you're describing. I heard about AUR-like repo for Nix (called NUR https://github.com/nix-community/NUR).

How to install NordVPN onto NixOS
Hi, I'm the author of the PR :) I uploaded it to NUR precisely so that it would be available sooner. However, as I wrote in the thread yesterday, as of this PR one of the components the package was relying on was deprecated. I'm still trying to make it work again using the new buildFHSEnv. However, if you're running 22.11 or haven't updated your local version of nixpkgs beyond that PR, it should still work.

New BFF

Is there NO alternative to the aur?
Nix also has the NUR. I have never needed to use it, while when I used arch I had many AUR packages.

Anyone figure out how to apply nvidia-patch in nixos?
Follow the NUR installation instructions and it should be in pkgs.nur.repos.arc.packages.nvidia-patch.

Best practices for organizing code repository for multiple machines? What about deployment?
As for the community repo, there's nur but only 120 people use it.. I think the reason nixpkgs is so big is that the community is pretty accepting of accepting loads of different packages.

Can one self host a nix package repo?
Some common options for the first: - your own git repo - your own flake (a specially constructed and easy to consume git repo) - something like NUR
What are some alternatives?
